Yes, ever since some of those heathen codes have gained influence the numbers have been down. And these days not only the numbers are smaller, but there also seems less 'spirit' than in the 'good old days'..... In some cases, the wearing of school uniform at the games has also become...

On the back of various discussions on the refereeing, late game penalties, scrum penalties etc I just thought I ramble on about the psychology on the game of pressure, performance and penalties. the correlation of cause and effect, the chicken and egg...what comes first.... Most of the time...

That is one of those strange things, the Australian derbies do tend to be be dour, tight, low in skills and boring affairs when compared to other countrie's derbies: a lack of depth, coaching, a fear of losing or some other reason why the games tend to be relatively underwhelming....

Just thought I would in an excessively succint manner post a few thoughts of round 3. The Kiwi sides seem to be stronger than the rest. They play at a speed and intensity that other sides can't reach at the moment. They are also very physical. Something seems to be wrong with the Force...

Great reading from LG there. With two kickers - BB and DH - in the team, I am thinking that the Tahs should play the sideline in this game. Use their lineout to effect, though that said I am not sure of the strength of the highlanders lineout for this to be fully feasible.

With the game looking like it is going to be a tight and tough affair the selectors should be looking at fully fit players for the Tahs. The players will need to be full confident in both their abilities and their bodies. The Highlanders seem to be a side that are tough and capable enough not...

Sounds ominous. Considering Lee is a great Tah's fan I am starting to feel bad about this. The Tah's trip to kiwi land this week may be compared to Custer's last stand. But done with trains instead of cavalry, to get that whole slow train wreck imagery going as well.

Well I have a slightly sore thigh if that helps anyone for this week's games. Not that this injury would make any difference on my appearance for any team in any way or so on. At least not at this stage of the season.

One of the best things about this is that we will be able to watch three games with Australian teams playing in them in a row this Saturday. But I digress This one should be a good one, and though I lean towards NSW, I have so far not had a successful tip involving the Highlanders this season.

I probably meant 'help' rather than hope, but hope goes pretty well so I will leave it be.
